Prince's Synthesizers

Hi all!

Does anyone know which synthesizers it was that artists like for instance Prince used in tracks like ‘Dirty mind’ and ‘1999’? I’m thinking of what he uses for the chord stab-sequences. Or for instance ‘Rock it’ by Herbie Hancock, those sort of things.

And further- is anything that sounds like this available as a soft synth?? :)

I think Prince used Oberheim-synths at the time. A little googling made me find this link: http://www.prince.org/msg/15/96422
